Update: Spoke to a QFF staff member today and apparently some one had added my FF number to their account. Supposedly an accident and so they removed my FF number from anyone else’s account to stop this occurring. I’m yet to test what happens if I type my FF number and the wrong surname/Pin to...

I keep receiving sms verification codes from Qantas. I have received about 6 in the past 90 minutes or so... Of course I have 2FA on as I receive these texts. I’ve checked my account and everything seems in order. I’ve also upped my email security to 2FA as well. Not sure what else I can do to...

Get one for each country when you arrive at the airport. It's quick and cheap this way. I also carry a spare iPhone to use as a data sim for my main phone.

Please elaborate on the science and math that garnered this conclusion. Thanks.

Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate I've had 2 international flights in December, SYD -> BKK return and MEL->AKL return with no luck on either for points upgrades on return flights. Return fares are always flex as per company booking policy and I'm QFF WP 4th year in a row. Not feeling the upgrade love...

Interesting that it redirected you to the EK site. I've just made a dummy booking for April also and it didn't redirect me. The status credits change when selecting all QF numbers with the QF and EK numbers mixed but I still wasn't redirected. Regardless of the site, you should earn status...

You handled this situation like a champ.

My constant traveling has had no negative impact on my current relationship, luckily! My gf always tells me that it keeps her missing me which is nice and she feels that she gets to live her own life when I'm away which is nice for her also. But I try to keep things balanced by being very firm...

I wouldn't have given in either. People only learn when they're called out. I have absolutely no time or patience for people faffing around on a plane.

You're the guy that said "thanks qantas" aren't you flying_double! ;) I've never had any sympathy for any mine site workers that complain about the length of their swing or the site environment, that's why you earn a 6 figure salary. I personally worked FIFO for a number of years and have...

Not so much an ideal travel computer but my current work travel computer is a HP ZBook 14 inch mobile workstation weighing in at 1.65kg. Specs: i7-5600U Processor 512GB SSD 16GB RAM Dedicated AMD Firepro GPU 1 GB 4xUSB Ports VGA and Display Port I use this with a docking station when I'm in the...

Definitely won't miss the headphone jack when I eventually move on from my work 6S. I'm sure audio manufacturers will start selling wireless adapters for phones and planes eventually as a middle ground.

I received this today as well. I requalified for WP in July but my membership anniversary isn't until 30th September and so in the email sent to me, it was geared to "allow" me to reach P1. Luckily I've got a bit of business travel between October and December this year that I haven't booked yet.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll make sure to have the local coffee and toast tomorrow. I've finally got some free time to actually take in Singapore.

Went to Level33 in Singapore with some work colleagues last night to check out the view from the 33rd floor of the Marina Bay Financial Centre. You get an incredible view of the bay area. I had the Beef and Reef which was an Australian rump medium rare with a nice lobster tail decorated with a...

Hey all, I'm staying at a "4 star" hotel in the Outram area in Singapore and I've gotta say the coffee and breakfast at the hotel is expensive (as is all of Singapore) and average at best. Anyone got any places in mind that can serve up a decent breakkie and coffee in the Outram/Downtown area...

Hey Mattg, where did you get this info in regards to benefits only counting to UA flights within the 90 days? I just showed my UA app to the SQ lounge attendant at MEL International and that was sufficient as it stated SA Gold. I did note that the BP doesn't recognize the status so it may prove...

VA FF physical server location and time would most likely dictate when it ticks over. It would be worth a phone call in general to clarify.

Nice. I just received my approval this morning.

Just signed up for this, what was the rough waiting time for an answer regarding the status match?
